Hervey Bay Smoke Alarms

In Hervey Bay, where lifestyle and safety go hand in hand, having working smoke alarms is a must. At Alert Smoke Alarm Compliance, we help homeowners, landlords and property managers meet Queensland’s smoke alarm laws with ease. Based on the Fraser Coast, we’re local to the area and understand the ins and outs of homes across Hervey Bay—from new builds to older beachside properties.

We install and upgrade smoke alarms using photoelectric models, which are now required under state legislation. Each alarm is fully interconnected and either hardwired or powered by a sealed 10-year battery. That means no changing batteries every year and no second-guessing if your system will work when it counts.

Whether you need one replaced or a full home set-up, we provide clear advice and do the job with care. We take time to explain what your home needs and make sure every alarm is installed where the law says it should be—bedrooms, hallways and each level of the home.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of smoke alarms are required in Queensland homes?

Queensland law requires photoelectric smoke alarms that are interconnected and either hardwired or powered by a sealed, non-removable 10-year battery. These alarms must be installed in every bedroom, in hallways connecting bedrooms, and on every level of the home.

Ionisation alarms and replaceable battery models no longer meet the requirements for homes being sold, leased or rented.
How do I check if my smoke alarms are expired?

Every smoke alarm has a manufacturer’s date printed on the back or side of the unit. If the alarm is more than 10 years old, it must be replaced—even if it still works.

Older alarms may not detect smoke properly due to sensor wear or dust build-up. It’s good practice to check the date during monthly testing or when performing home maintenance.
Do all smoke alarms need to go off together?

Yes. In Queensland, smoke alarms must be interconnected, meaning when one alarm detects smoke, all alarms in the home sound together.

This provides a quicker warning and helps everyone in the home respond faster—especially important in larger or multi-storey homes. Interconnection may be wired or wireless, depending on the system used.
Why are my smoke alarms going off randomly at night?

Random alarms at night can be caused by low batteries, temperature drops, or dust and insects in the unit. Photoelectric sensors are sensitive, so even small irritants can set them off.

Start by cleaning the alarm and checking the battery. If the issue continues or the alarm is old, replacing the unit is usually the best fix.
